West Virginia man sentenced to 3 years in prison for threatening to kill Fauci

Aug 5 (Reuters) - A federal judge sentenced a West Virginia man to three years in prison for sending intimidating emails to Anthony Fauci, including threats to kill the United States' top infectious disease official over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Greenbelt, Maryland, on Thursday sentenced Thomas Connally Jr., 56, of Snowshoe, West Virginia, to 37 months in federal prison and another three years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty in May to a federal charge of making threats against a federal official.

In one email, Connally threatened that Fauci and his family would be "dragged into the street, beaten to death, and set on fire," prosecutors said.

In a plea bargain, Connally admitted he sent threatening emails to Fauci, hoping to intimidate and interfere with his official duties as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' director and to retaliate against him for his handling of the pandemic, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland said in a statement.

COVID still shutting schools down


Although students haven’t been back in class for long, an Oklahoma school says it is already dealing with COVID-19. (https://kfor.com/news/ou-health-officials-expect-covid-surge-once-oklahoma-students-return-to-school-next-week/)
On Monday, Mannsville Public School announced that it was forced to close the school this week due to a number of positive COVID-19 cases.


“Due to an increasingly high number of positive covid tests for both students and staff, we are forced to close for this week to allow time for everyone to get better and not continue to spread the virus,” Mannsville Superintendent Brandi Price-Kelty posted on Facebook.

“A sizeable proportion of older adults who received a neurological or psychiatric diagnosis, in either cohort, subsequently died, especially those diagnosed with dementia or epilepsy or seizures,” the study reads.


Children were not found to be at increased risk of mood or anxiety disorders in the six months after infection, but did see an increased risk of “cognitive deficit, insomnia, intracranial haemorrhage, ischaemic stroke, nerve, nerve root, and plexus disorders, psychotic disorders, and epilepsy or seizures.”it sounds dramatic because the effects can be life-changing, but in principle, we already knew that COVID is a vascular disease with chronic dimensions.

COVID has a long tail


Nomi Health said this week that based on a review of claims information, employers spend an average of $2,654.67 per employee diagnosed with long COVID.

The firm said that it conducted an extensive study to examine the costs of long COVID and its associated conditions -- breathing abnormalities, malaise and fatigue, cough, throat and chest pain, and respiratory failure.

Its researchers found per-member employer spending was on average more than 26% higher than the average spending for a diabetes patient, Nomi Health said.

The company added that it reviewed more than 20 million medical claims between January and June 2022 to identify those claims for patients with both diabetes and long COVID -- defined through any of more than two dozen symptoms that linger, recur, or first appear at least one month after a COVID-19 infection.

The study found additional increases in costs for employers and patients. Researchers observed a 203% increase in medical spending per-member per-month within the first six months following initial COVID-19 diagnosis. This increase resulted in a predicted $9,000 per case increase in medical spending compared to spending for similar patients who had COVID but no subsequent symptoms of long COVID.

The study also found a 126% increase in costly diagnostic laboratory and imaging procedures for those diagnosed with long COVID.

COVID can fuck up T-cells


“We see that severe COVID-19 infection has long-lasting negative effects on the immune system. Obviously, the immune system is affected pretty badly when people are in hospital sick with COVID, but we had not anticipated that the effects would persist as long as 7-8 months later,” says Francis Hopkins, postdoc in the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences at Linköping University.https://liu.se/dfsmedia/dd35e243dfb7406993c1815aaf88a675/61780-50063/marie-larsson-virusforskning-2022-liu-1923Francis Hopkins. Magnus Johansson
Several types of cells are important when the immune system starts to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some white blood cells, B cells, form antibodies that recognise and bind to particular parts of the virus, while several types of T cells help to kill infected cells. In the current study, researchers at Linköping University have looked at whether a severe COVID-19 infection has long-term effects on the body’s immune cells.
They looked at 46 patients with COVID-19 who had received care at Vrinnevi Hospital in Norrköping, and 31 healthy control subjects. The researchers analysed blood samples taken from the patients when admitted to hospital, and taken 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 6-8 months later. They not only looked at the properties of the virus-specific T cells, but also examined whether the disease had had a general effect on all T cells.https://liu.se/dfsmedia/dd35e243dfb7406993c1815aaf88a675/61778-50063/marie-larsson-virusforskning-2022-liu-1885Professor Marie Larsson. Magnus Johansson
“The effects on the T cells of the immune system are interesting and mixed. Some of them are still activated long after the disease episode, while others are ‘fatigued’ and cannot function normally. We see similar effects on patients with a chronic HIV infection. The question is: why are these effects still present after so long?” asks Marie Larsson, professor of virology at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences at Linköping University, and leader of the study.

Substantial ongoing hit to the labor force.


This paper studies the impacts of Covid-19 illnesses on labor supply in the United States. Using an event study, we find that workers who miss a full week of work due to probable Covid-19 illnesses become about 7 percentage points less likely to be in the labor force one year later compared to similar workers who do not miss work for health reasons. This labor-supply impact suggests that Covid-19 illnesses have reduced the U.S. labor force participation rate by approximately 0.2 percentage points, or 500,000 people. We further find significant adjustments on other margins of labor supply, including hours and choice of industry and occupation. In total over these margins, we estimate that Covid-19 absences reduce total labor earnings by about $9,000, or 18 percent, over the fourteen months following ahealth-related absence. About 90 percent of the forgone labor earnings reflects long-term reductions in labor supply beyond the absence itself. These results show Covid-19 illness has significant implications for individual well-being and aggregate labor supply.https://www.nber.org/papers/w30435

[Winehole23]

Long COVID is now the country’s third leading neurological disorder, the American Academy of Neurology declared in July. As of the end of May, there were 82.5 million COVID survivors in the United States, and 30 percent of them — about 24.8 million — were considered “long-haulers.” A recent study of Northwestern’s Neuro COVID-19 Clinic patients showed that most neurological symptoms persist for an average of nearly 15 months after the disease’s onset.https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/october-2022/the-long-haul/

[Winehole23]

could be a bit more nuance here, severity of neurological problems does seem to correlate with hospitalization in some studies


In May 2020, Koralnik and his team opened the Neuro COVID-19 Clinic at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. One of the first of its kind in the nation, it not only treats patients but also collects data on demographics, quality of life, and cognitive test results. “We thought that we were going to see mostly patients who were hospitalized, who survived and now needed some ongoing care for neurology as an outpatient,” Koralnik says. “But what we saw is the opposite. The main population of the clinic is the people who were never hospitalized with COVID, who had only a mild sore throat, a cough that went away, or a bit of fever — and then [experienced] the lingering, persistent, and then debilitating brain fog, headaches, dizziness, muscle pain, trouble with smell and taste, blurry vision, tinnitus, and intense fatigue.”

Other research has backed that up. “Turns out people with the mild cold-like symptoms are the people with the neurological manifestations,” says Avindra Nath, clinical director of the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Those symptoms corresponded with patients’ self-reporting of a lower quality of life and issues regarding cognition, anxiety, depression, and sleep. The patients also performed worse than expected on tests of processing speed, attention, executive function, and memory.

[Winehole23]

That “critical need” is the backdrop for Koralnik’s current frustration. He was able to land ample financial support to study and treat the neurological effects of HIV. Same with PML, a rare brain disease affecting “only a handful of people in the world,” he says. Citing his 25-year track record of obtaining funding, he makes a point of saying: “I love NIH. I think it’s the greatest institution that supports research in the world.” That said, he is dismayed that the government agency overseeing public health has been much less responsive to the neurological issues associated with long COVID, a disease afflicting close to 25 million Americans. “Now I’m studying the most frequent disease in the world, which is COVID, and the third most frequent disease in the U.S. today, which is long COVID, and I have to spend even more time to convince people that, one, it’s real; two, it should be studied; and, three, it should be funded by NIH,” he says.

Strong correlation with Alzheimer's onset


In a study published today in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers report that people 65 and older who contracted COVID-19 were more prone to developing Alzheimer’s disease in the year following their COVID diagnosis. And the highest risk was observed in women at least 85 years old.


The findings showed that the risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease in older people nearly doubled (0.35% to 0.68%) over a one-year period following infection with COVID. The researchers say it is unclear whether COVID-19 triggers new development of Alzheimer’s disease or accelerates its emergence.


“The factors that play into the development of Alzheimer’s disease have been poorly understood, but two pieces considered important are prior infections, especially viral infections, and inflammation,” said Pamela Davis, Distinguished University Professor and The Arline H. and Curtis F. Garvin Research Professor at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, the study’s coauthor.


“Since infection with SARS-CoV2 has been associated with central nervous system abnormalities including inflammation, we wanted to test whether, even in the short term, COVID could lead to increased diagnoses,” she said.


The research team analyzed the anonymous electronic health records of 6.2 million adults 65 and older in the United States who received medical treatment between February 2020 and May 2021 and had no prior diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

They then divided this population two groups: one composed of people who contracted COVID-19 during that period, and another with people who had no documented cases of COVID-19. More than 400,000 people were enrolled in the COVID study group, while 5.8 million were in the non-infected group.

In Nature this week, long term neurological outcomes are clocked


In this study involving 154,068 people who had COVID-19, 5,638,795 contemporary controls and 5,859,621 historical controls, which altogether correspond to 14,064,985 person-years of follow up, we show that beyond the first 30 days of infection, people with COVID-19 are at increased risk of an array of neurologic disorders spanning several disease categories including stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic), cognition and memory disorders, peripheral nervous system disorders, episodic disorders, extrapyramidal and movement disorders, mental health disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, sensory disorders and other disorders including Guillain–Barré syndrome, and encephalitis or encephalopathy. The risks and burdens were evident in subgroups based on age, race, sex, obesity, smoking, ADI, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension or immune dysfunction. The risks were evident even in people who did not need hospitalization during the acute phase of the infection and increased according to the care setting of the acute phase of the disease from nonhospitalized to hospitalized to admitted to intensive care. The findings were consistent in comparisons involving the contemporary control group and the historical control group. The results were robust to challenge in sensitivity analyses; the application of negative-exposure and negative-outcome controls yielded results consistent with prior expectations. Altogether, our results show that the risks and burdens of neurologic disorders in the COVID-19 group at 12 months are substantial. The long-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection should be taken into account in devising policies for managing the ongoing pandemic, and developing exit strategies for a postpandemic era. Health systems should consider these findings in capacity planning and in designing clinical care pathways to address the care needs of people who survive the acute phase of COVID-19.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-02001-z

[Winehole23]

Our analyses by age as a continuous variable reveal two key findings. (1) Regardless of age and across the age spectrum, people with COVID-19 had a higher risk of all the neurologic outcomes examined in this analysis. (2) Our interaction analyses suggest that the effect of COVID-19 on risk of memory and cognitive disorders, sensory disorders and other neurologic disorders (including Guillain–Barré syndrome and encephalitis or encephalopathy) is stronger in younger adults; the effects of these disorders on younger lives are profound and cannot be overstated; urgent attention is needed to better understand these long-term effects and the means to mitigate them. Equally troubling is the stronger effect of COVID-19 on mental health disorders, musculoskeletal disorders and episodic disorders in older adults, highlighting their vulnerability to these disorders following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

[Winehole23]

A foreseeable downside of letting 'er rip. Cases in the context of unhindered transmission count. Looks like the acquired immunity-by-infection strategy is backfiring. No mitigation is creating the conditions for prolonging pandemic spread and the emergence of more dangerous disease.


The two subvariants of particular concern are known as BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, both off-shoots of the omicron variant BA.5 (https://www.salon.com/2022/08/10/ba5-variant-omicron-explainer/) (but with several key changes.) Indeed, they seem able to evade many of the tools we have to defend against it, which could trigger a wave of hospitalizations, disabling victims with long COVID (https://www.salon.com/2022/06/16/what-a-long-diagnosis-means-when-your-doctor-knows-little-more-than-webmd/) or death.


Also worrying are two other strains: one called BA.2.75.2, which seems to be spreading quickly in Singapore, India and regions of Europe; and XBB, which some research (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.15.507787v3) suggests is the most antibody-evasive strain tested, almost on the level of the SARS-CoV-1 virus (known then simply as "SARS (https://www.salon.com/2021/10/18/universal-vaccine-all-coronaviruses/)") that caused an outbreak in 2003. This could make the new vaccines relatively useless (but still better than nothing.) Moreover, an outbreak caused by one of these highly drug- and antibody-resistant variants could be much worse due to many world governments performing far less testing (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/covid-testing-providers-scale-back-worries-another-winter-surge-rcna47777) and reduced public health surveillance compared to 2020 and 2021.



"The degree of immune escape and evasion is amazing right now, crazy," Yunlong Richard Cao, an immunologist at Peking University in Beijing, told Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-03157-x) this week. Cao co-authored a paper (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.15.507787v3), which has yet to be peer-reviewed, that seems to show previous infections by BA.5 and antibody drugs, including Evusheld and Bebtelovimab, aren't enough to stop a BQ.1 infection.


"Such rapid and simultaneous emergence of multiple variants with enormous growth advantages is unprecedented," Cao and his colleagues warned in the study. "These results suggest that current herd immunity and BA.5 vaccine boosters may not provide sufficiently broad protection against infection."


Meanwhile, BA.2.75.2, an offshoot of the Centaurus omicron subvariant, also shows stark ability to evade antibodies. While it isn't a big deal in the West yet, it is seemingly spreading quickly in India (https://time.com/6216760/ba-2-75-2-centaurus-omicron-variant-vaccine/). Some research from Sweden (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.09.16.508299v2.full), which also isn't yet peer reviewed but is in line with Cao's research, described BA.2.75.2 as "the most neutralisation resistant variant evaluated to date."



And then there's XBB, which Cao has described (https://twitter.com/yunlong_cao/status/1577343549120872448) as "the most antibody-evasive strain tested." It combines two different omicron lineages (BJ.1 and BM.1.1.1) to make something so good at evading immunity (either from previous infections or vaccines) that it's close to SARS-CoV-1. It "could cause significant immune escape at a scale never seen before," Cao and his colleagues wrote.https://www.salon.com/2022/10/04/bq1-xbb-variants-resistant/

As we’ve seen throughout the pandemic, some are hospitalized “with COVID19,” but it’s important to note that the Germany’s numbers are reported purely as “for COVID19.” In other words, not only are infections increasing, but so is severe disease.


Interestingly, no new subvariant is driving this wave, as the majority of cases are still the “old” BA.5 subvariant. This means changing weather, waning immunity, and/or changing behaviors are the culprit.https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/covid-state-of-affairs-oct-5?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=281219&post_id=76439027

Of those adults with long COVID, 81% report that their long-term symptoms from the condition have reduced their ability to carry out day-to-day activities. A quarter of the adults with long COVID said that the limitations were “significant.”

The highest rate of daily activity limitations come from the 18-29 age group, while the lowest rate comes from the 40-49 age group.

The survey’s results mean that over 18 million adult Americans [could be] currently experiencing symptoms of long COVID and [up to] 15 million [might] have problems performing daily activities because of it.

‘We are in trouble’:

Study raises alarm about impacts of long covid

based on the experiences of nearly 100,000 participants provides powerful evidence that

many people do not fully recover months after being infected with the coronavirus.

The Scottish study (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-33415-5) found that

between six and 18 months after infection,

1 in 20 people had not recovered and

42 percent reported partial recovery.

There were some reassuring aspects to the results:

People with asymptomatic infections are unlikely to suffer long-term effects, and

vaccination appears to offer some protection from long covid.

“It’s one more well-conducted, population-level study showing that

we should be extremely concerned about the current numbers of acute infections,”
“We are in trouble.”

“There are lots of different impacts going beyond health to quality of life, employment, schooling and the ability to look after yourself,”

Between 7 million and 23 million Americans — including 1 million who can no longer work — are suffering from the long-term effects of infection with the virus,

Those numbers are expected to rise as covid becomes an endemic disease (https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/01/15/living-with-the-virus/?itid=lk_inline_manual_18&itid=lk_inline_manual_13).

“Those who had covid were significantly more likely to get 24 of the 26 symptoms studied compared to the never-infected general population,”

it is possible that some people with negative tests could have been infected, serving to reinforce the study’s broader findings.

The decision comes as the pandemic has faded from the forefront of many people’s minds. Daily deaths and infections are dropping and people — many of them maskless — are returning to schools, work and grocery stores as normal.

Levels of BQ variants nearly doubled this week (https://fortune.com/well/2022/10/21/bq1-bq11-omicron-covid-variants-rising-us-united-states-new-york-pandemic-xbb-monoclonal-antibodies/) in the CDC’s New York region, which also includes New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The BQ family rose from a combined estimated 9% last week to more than 17% this week, according to agency data.


The rapid growth rate concerns scientists, including leading U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, who recently called the viral family’s doubling time “pretty troublesome (https://fortune.com/well/2022/10/19/bq-bq11-covid-omicron-variants-account-for-20-percent-cases-in-new-york-region-pandemic-endemic-epidemic-fall-winter-wave/).”


What concerns Rajnarayanan more though, is that hospitalizations in New York are also on the rise. In mid-September they sat at around 2,000 a day. A month later, they’re nearing 3,000 (https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/daily-hospitalization-summary), according to data from the state.

The state’s current hospitalization wave is “pretty close, if not higher than the Delta peak,” he said, referring to the deadly COVID wave that rocked the U.S. late last year, right before Omicron hit.

Pandemic reverses trend of declining heart attacks


New data analysis from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai found that deaths from heart attacks rose significantly during pandemic surges, including the COVID-19 Omicron surges, overall reversing a heart-healthier pre-pandemic trend.


Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, heart attacks were the leading cause of death worldwide but were steadily on the decline. However, the new study—recently published in the Journal of Medical Virology—shows that heart attack (https://medicalxpress.com/tags/heart+attack/) death rates took a sharp turn and increased for all age groups (https://medicalxpress.com/tags/age+groups/) during the pandemic. The spikes in heart attack deaths have tracked with surges of COVID-19 infection—even during the presumed less-severe omicron phase of the pandemic. Furthermore, the data showed the increase was most significant among individuals ages 25-44, who are not usually considered at high risk for heart attack.


"The dramatic rise in heart attacks during the pandemic has reversed what was a prior decadelong steady improvement in cardiac deaths (https://medicalxpress.com/tags/cardiac+deaths/)," said Yee Hui Yeo, MD, first author of the study and a Cedars-Sinai physician-scientist.

Key findings from the study include:


In the year before the pandemic, there were 143,787 heart attack deaths; within the first year of the pandemic, this number had increased by 14% to 164,096.





The excess in acute myocardial infarction-associated mortality has persisted throughout the pandemic, even during the most recent period marked by a surge of the presumed less-virulent omicron variant.





Researchers found that although acute myocardial infarction deaths during the pandemic increased across all age groups, the relative rise was most significant for the youngest group, ages 25 to 44.





By the second year of the pandemic, the "observed" compared to "predicted" rates of heart attack death had increased by 29.9% for adults ages 25-44, by 19.6% for adults ages 45-64, and by 13.7% for adults age 65 and older.

Jabbour and his co-author Eytan Raz, an assistant professor of neuroradiology at NYU Langone, said that strokes in covid-19 patients challenge conventional thinking. “We are used to thinking of 60 as a young patient when it comes to large vessel occlusions,” Raz said of the deadliest strokes. “We have never seen so many in their 50s, 40s and late 30s.”


“Mocco, who has spent his career studying strokes and how to treat them, said he was ‘completely shocked’ by the analysis. He noted the link between COVID-19 and stroke ‘is one of the clearest and most profound correlations I’ve come across.’”https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/24/strokes-coronavirus-young-patients/

"it's just a cold"


In this autopsy study of the brain, we characterized the vascular pathology, the neuroinflammatory changes and cellular and humoral immune responses by immunohistochemistry.


All patients died during the first wave of the pandemic from March to July 2020. All patients were adults who died after a short duration of the infection, some had died suddenly with minimal respiratory involvement. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed on ante-mortem or post-mortem testing. Descriptive analysis of the pathological changes and quantitative analyses of the infiltrates and vascular changes were performed.


All patients had multifocal vascular damage as determined by leakage of serum proteins into the brain parenchyma. This was accompanied by widespread endothelial cell activation. Platelet aggregates and microthrombi were found adherent to the endothelial cells along vascular lumina. Immune complexes with activation of the classical complement pathway were found on the endothelial cells and platelets. Perivascular infiltrates consisted of predominantly macrophages and some CD8+ T cells. Only rare CD4+ T cells and CD20+ B cells were present. Astrogliosis was also prominent in the perivascular regions. Microglial nodules were predominant in the hindbrain, which were associated with focal neuronal loss and neuronophagia.


Antibody-mediated cytotoxicity directed against the endothelial cells is the most likely initiating event that leads to vascular leakage, platelet aggregation, neuroinflammation and neuronal injury.

mild to moderate infection followed by long COVID correlates with immunological dysfunction


A proportion of patients surviving acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection develop post-acute COVID syndrome (long COVID (LC)) lasting longer than 12 weeks. Here, we studied individuals with LC compared to age- and gender-matched recovered individuals without LC, unexposed donors and individuals infected with other coronaviruses. Patients with LC had highly activated innate immune cells, lacked naive T and B cells and showed elevated expression of type I IFN (IFN-β) and type III IFN (IFN-λ1) that remained persistently high at 8 months after infection. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-021-01113-x?s=09

[steak n eggs]

Dr. gave me Paxlovid when I had Covid. I didn't take it and Covid was gone on the 11th day, no rebounds. Glad I decided against it because it sounds like it only masks the virus and I'm not really too excited about constantly taking brand new treatments.

[Winehole23]

studies continue to support the correlation of infection and the risks of death, hospitalization and post-infection sequelae.

cases count.


Here we used the US Department of Veterans Affairs’ national healthcare database to build a cohort of individuals with one SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 443,588), reinfection (two or more infections, n = 40,947) and a noninfected control (n = 5,334,729). We used inverse probability-weighted survival models to estimate risks and 6-month burdens of death, hospitalization and incident sequelae. Compared to no reinfection, reinfection contributed additional risks of death (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.17, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.93–2.45), hospitalization (HR = 3.32, 95% CI 3.13–3.51) and sequelae including pulmonary, cardiovascular, hematological, diabetes, gastrointestinal, kidney, mental health, musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. The risks were evident regardless of vaccination status. The risks were most pronounced in the acute phase but persisted in the postacute phase at 6 months. Compared to noninfected controls, cumulative risks and burdens of repeat infection increased according to the number of infections. Limitations included a cohort of mostly white males. The evidence shows that reinfection further increases risks of death, hospitalization and sequelae in multiple organ systems in the acute and postacute phase. Reducing overall burden of death and disease due to SARS-CoV-2 will require strategies for reinfection prevention.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-02051-3

masking mitigates disease and helps keep kids and teachers in school


A new study (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211029?query=featured_home) in the New England Journal of Medicine sheds some light on this question. The authors examined COVID-19 case rates in districts in the Boston area after the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) lifted statewide school masking requirements (https://www.mass.gov/news/statewide-school-mask-requirement-will-be-lifted-february-28) in February 2022, in accordance with CDC guidance. What followed was a natural experiment in the impact of mask requirements, as school districts removed the requirement at different points in time or not at all. Two school districts (Boston and nearby Chelsea) retained the requirement throughout the study period.

The authors found that COVID-19 rates were similar among districts before the mask requirement was rescinded, then diverged quickly, with higher case rates in districts immediately following the removal of the mask requirement.

Approximately 12,000 cases, or 30% of all cases during the study period, were attributable to rescinding the mask requirement. The resulting illnesses led to substantial loss of in-person school days— an estimated minimum of 17,500 days of school absence in students and 6,500 days of staff absence—arguing for masks as a critical component of optimizing learning.
